Northshore trip notes / Pick your starting town
Six useful local guides for planning a Northshore outing. Every Northshore Boating rental pickup and checkout happens at one place: 100 Marina Del Ray in Madisonville.
Pick your starting point
Whether you’re coming from a river town, a trail town or the lakefront, use your guide to shape the shore-side part of the day—and keep the rental pickup details clear.
Every rental starts here
Pickup and checkout are in Madisonville—not at the other towns’ waterfronts, trailheads or public launches.
Start your Northshore water day right here in Madisonville. Explore pontoon, kayak and jet ski rental options, then request a date with our team at Marina Del Ray.
Madisonville’s Tchefuncte River scenery and waterfront character make it a natural place to plan a Northshore outing. Our rental pickup is at 100 Marina Del Ray—not a public boat launch or an unspecified spot along the riverfront. Use the complete address when arranging your arrival.
Planning a lake day from Mandeville? Explore Northshore Boating’s pontoon, kayak and jet ski options, with all rental pickup and checkout in nearby Madisonville.
Old Mandeville combines lakefront scenery with shops, restaurants and outdoor places to explore. That makes it a useful home base for a Northshore visit—but the Mandeville lakefront is not our rental pickup location. Arrange your rental around a trip to our Madisonville address.
Make time on the water part of your Covington-area visit. Northshore Boating offers pontoon, kayak and jet ski rental requests, with pickup at our Madisonville location.
Downtown Covington’s shops and galleries around Lee Lane and Columbia Street offer a different side of a Northshore visit from a day on the lake. If your group is starting in Covington, plan the road trip to Madisonville as its own part of the outing—not as a boat transfer from a downtown river landing.
Add a water outing to your Abita Springs plans. Explore pontoon, kayak and jet ski rental options with Northshore Boating, then travel to Madisonville for pickup and checkout.
Abita Springs is known for its eclectic small-town character and its connection to the Tammany Trace. Walking, cycling and time in town are shore-side activities; a Northshore Boating rental is a separate outing that begins at Marina Del Ray in Madisonville.
Starting your Northshore outing in Slidell? Explore Northshore Boating’s pontoon, kayak and jet ski options, with one clearly marked rental pickup in Madisonville.
Olde Towne Slidell offers a shore-side stop for a Northshore visit, while the area’s swamp and waterfront activities represent different types of outings. Northshore Boating’s rental requests are not swamp tours or a Slidell launch service. Our rental day begins with staff checkout in Madisonville.
Planning an outdoor day from Lacombe? Compare Northshore Boating’s pontoon, kayak and jet ski options, then request your preferred rental with pickup in Madisonville.
The Tammany Trace connects Lacombe with the wider Northshore outdoor scene. A cycling or town outing there can be part of your regional visit, but it is not a Northshore Boating rental departure. Our watercraft are picked up at Marina Del Ray in Madisonville.
